Problems with lists

[T.A.Stobie, SFO]

I tried posting a reply contained a number list of items within. I posted twice to have the server hang each time. The first time I lost my post. The second (after trying to guess at what I had said before) I copied prior to posting. I removed the numbered lists and reposted and no problem at with the post.

Am I missing something?

If lists are not enabled, please do not have the list editing buttons available when posting.

Can you send me a sample of what was causing a problem?

I think we support numbered lists, both Arabic:

1. Numbered list item 1
2. Numbered list item 2
3. Numbered list item 3

and Roman

1. Numbered list item 1
2. Numbered list item 2
3. Numbered list item 3

1. Numbered list item 1
2. Numbered list item 2
3. Numbered list item 3

and bulleted lists

• First bullet item
• Second bullet item
• Third bullet item

and alpha lists, both upper:

1. List item A
2. List item B
3. List item C

and lowercase:

1. List item A
2. List item B
3. List item C

This is a test using the post that timed-out twice before I removed the list and had no problems. I have tried to post it as it was when it last failed.

Well - I will try posting again - the last post has got lost by the server twice so far. Why I do not know? It may have been that I tried to use a list.


A lot of good comments for so far so I will just add to them.

1. It is important to understand your metabolism when fasting from food. Different people have different metabolisms so what works for one is unhealthy (even deadly) for others. Try to understand how your body reacts to different foods and nutrients. Some people require a much greater balance in their diets than others, such as diabetics who need to eat balanced meals and not over or underdo any dietary aspects. Other need daily balance; many weekly balance if fine. Some can abstain for certain types of foods entirely. Learn how much of which nutrients your body needs (vs. wants) and on what basis. Consult your doctor about your diet and fasting as necessary.
2. Fasting can include fasting for non-food items.
3. Fasting from your vices can help you reduce them in your life permanently and thus improve the quality of your lifestyle.
4. Fasting does not have to be all or nothing. It can be just a 10% reduction, but could be more as well. The key is that is should be helping you grow closer to God.
5. Attitude is important. Why are your fasting? Understand your movitations, and if you have many that is fine.
6. Prayer is very important even in choosing what to fast from and how much is good and when not to fast.
7. Fasting should not hurt you permanently.
8. If fasting leaves time in your schedule, fill it with positive activities. Fasting from sitcoms and turning on reality TV, probably will not help you much. Fasting from sitcoms and spending quality time with is family is much better.
9. Often a person is better increasing a positive activity than fasting from a neutral or even harmful one. For instance, adding a family rosary each week is beneficial to most families and may help you more than abstaining from ice cream on Wednesdays and Fridays.

Hope some of my ramblings are useful.

hmm. That worked. I wonder why it timed out twice before then?

Do you recall the error message?

I got a standard IE6 error screen saying that the website is not responding after a long time of waiting for a response after I clicked to post the message.
